Chapter 55 - Chapter 55. Daima

Kim places the bucket on the porch, *Knock*, he softly knocks his hand on the wooden door.

"Is it okay for me to come in, have you change Yuriel yet?"

He said but there was no response, he became worry and slowly grab the knots but a second later he heard a girl voice.

"Alright I'm done, you can come in now!"

Kim twist the door and enter the house, he place the bucket near the bed Yuriel is resting on. He could see that the girl have wrap all of her four wounds with gauze. He grabs a chair and place it near the bed, there he says on it while grabbing Yuriel hand.

"Is she going to be fine?"

Kim asked turning his head toward the girls that was in the kitchen doing cooking up something.

"Yeah, she should be fine. All she need to do is rest and eat and that should heal her up."

The girl handed Kim a towel and asks him to soak it with water, rinse the water out and place it on Yuriel's forehead.

While Kim was doing that, the girl finally introduced herself.

"The name Mary by the way."

Kim turned his head and introduced him and Yuriel.

"Hello Mary, I am Kim and this over her is my friend Yuriel."

Mary narrowed her looks at Kim and Yuriel.

"Friend huh, I thought you two were a couple. Welp I suppose it do be like that."

Kim chuckled,

"Yuriel? No way, when I first met her, she beat the ever living sh*t out of me."

Mary laughed and turned to the sink, she rinse out some fruit and place it on a plate.

"That's funny."

She said. Kim nods his head, awkward begins to tense up in the room til Mary speak.

"So Kim, how did you and Yuriel get here?"

Kim looks up and stare at her, he could felt her gaze looking back.

"Ah, that huh? Well let just say, we have run into a bunch of cult and they did something that got us here…"

Kim stays quiet.

"How about you Mary?"

He asks, the same question that was meant for him is now toward Mary.

She silently stares at Kim and turned her body toward the cutting board, she slice up some meats before speaking.

"I'm not really proud of it, let just say I was a sacrifice for probably the same cultist you have met…Anyway, the food is done, you'll have to feed your friend over there."

Mary handed Kim a plate full of fruit then she handed him another plate with vegetables on the side along with a slice up steak.

Kim taps on Yuriel shoulder to wake her up but she twist and turns away from Kim, there she snores while mumbling something to herself.

Kim got up from the chair and asks Mary a question.

"If you don't mind me asking, why are you helping us? You avoided us when we tried to asks for directions but now you're helping? Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining just confused."

She just stares at Kim for a moment before holding up two more plate and placed it on a table, she pulled the chair outward before scooting back in.

"I saw you guys saved my son from getting bullied."

She said, Kim looks at Yuriel before looking back at Mary.

"You saw that huh?"

Mary nod as she sighed and pierced one of the slice steak with a fork, there she put it in her mouth and eat it. After she swallowed, she opens her mouth.

"As you know, my kid is a hybrid between human and a demon…"

Kim nods waiting for her to continue until he heard a door opening and shutting. He heard a young voice.

"Mother, I have returned to this lovely establishment after taking a long and mindful walks outside."

The kid took off his sweater and stares at Kim and Yuriel.

"Oh, I didn't know we have guests if I've surely know, I would've prepared myself."

He said with a surprise expression, he covered his mouth as he didn't want to show them gritting his teeth.

Kim thought to himself.

"This is NOT the brat true personality, he was cursing me out for no reason, this brat is acting so different from the one I've met!!!"

Kim let out a force smile and waves at the kid, the young hybrid waved back with no intent of being buddies with him.

"Welcome back Daima."

His mother said. She continued.

"Why don't you introduce yourself and thanks these nice people for helping you."

Daima bows elegantly and begin speaking.

"You're right mother, sorry for my manners. My name is Daima and I likes to go on long walks and read books."

Daima turned to his mother, he swiftly walked toward the table and sat down.

"Mother, I would like to know why these 'lovely' guests are here, if anywho questions. Shouldn't they have somewhere to be? I'm sure these lovely guys are quite busy."

Mary sighed and place her right hand on her cheeks.

"Daima don't you see that one of them are hurt?"

"Yes mother I do but sorry for my wordings however I'll like to know if they were the reason for that."

Kim shooks his head, his face went from a poker face to being baffled.

"This ki- brat!!! I want to see you fight a giant spider and come out unharmed, oh WAIT you can't because you can't even defend yourself from other demons your age, not saying I would do any better but I did assist in beating that face stealing spider."

Kim grinned forcefully and awkwardly, his arms slowly shake in anger.

"Excuse me but what do you mean by that?"

Kim asks Daima, waiting for his response. Daima sighed and shrugged.

"Sorry for being rude but what I meant was that, isn't the fault of you guys getting hurt was probably the aftermath of you guys aimlessly wandering around?"

Kim held in his composure and took a deep breath before replying.

"I'd admit we were aimlessly wandering but a GIANT SPIDER suddenly attacked us for no reason also you acted like we know our way here."

"Sorry to impose but were the reason the spider attacks you was because you guys might perhaps trespass on it territory?"

Kim thought to himself.

"Wait that could make sense, hmm maybe we were in the wrong I don't personally know anything about spider but I think I heard that they don't like it when someone is in their territories I don't know for sure though…nevertheless it did tried to kill us so I don't feel bad."

Mary stares at Kim who was thinking and tapping his foot. She looks at Daima to see him smirking, she got up from her seat which grabs both Kim and Daima attention.

"Daima, I would like you to apologize to my guests!"

"B-but mother—"

With just a stare, Mary silenced Daima.

"The monster here would've attacks them regardless whether if they were on their territories or not!"

She let out a sigh,

"I'll like you to apologize to our guess!"

Mary stays quiet for a bit before telling Daima to go to his room.

"Yes mother…" he turns to Kim and begin bowing.

"I'm sorry for saying such things."

He said while gritting his teeth, he stood up and started going to his room.

Mary sits down and took a deep breath before speaking, at the start of the conversation, she let out a sighed.

"I'm sorry for what my son says to you, please don't blame him, he had recently lost his father though that's not an excuse to act that way toward you guys."

Kim after hearing that Daima lost his father, he is sadden a bit, thinking to himself.

"I guess I'll cut that kid some slack, he just lost his father…"

Kim sits on the chair that was next to him, putting both of his arms on his thighs.

"No, I should be sorry. I shouldve been more mannered with how I choose to react."

Mary shooks her head slightly. Awkward rise between the two for a while before Kim took a bite of his steak and asks Mary a question.

"Can you tell me how he lost his father?"

Mary stared at Kim and give him a sad chuckle.

"You're digging in deep into our family history huh?" She asks.

"I'm sorry."

Kim said. Mary told him that she never said no to that. There she begins telling her story.
